Good morning ...
Terry ..... Sad to hear about Ringling Circus closing. ... I read one of the reasons was they had so many problems with animal rights activists.
Bruce .... Unfortunately, unions have made themselves undesirable to the workers who are their members. That explains the trend toward right to work laws.
Willie ... You mentioned excessive taxes. Actually, the government hurts itself if it raises taxes that already are excessive. Doing so will stifle the economy which reduces incomes. That results in less income to tax and less tax revenue.
Below is a photo of "The Roundup" at the rear of a very long Denver Zephyr. The DZ was equipped entirely with Budd stainless steel cars with full length skirts making it a very attractive train. It was Burlington's most successful train in terms of revenue and profits.
